Merrell Men's Moab 2 GTX Hiking Shoe

Purchased for my dad. They offer great stability, look good, are slip resistant, have great support, and are a good value for the money.My dad has high arches and really bad achilles tendons and these are the best shoes/hikers he has found that allow him to stay busy around the house that support his arches and help minimize his achilles pain.He uses them every day either working around the house doing a number of chores. My dad is always doing something and he always has these on.

I got these shoes at 50% off. They look great but the price was the selling point. They are definitely for trails and hiking. If you walk a-lot on pavement or everyday these are not for that. I walked 5 miles on pavement breaking them in. Only 1 hotspot so still good but I replaced the inner soles with Dr. Scholls. These are alot of leather which I like but have to break in. I hiked 4 miles on a trail of dirt and grass and no issues. I would give them a 7/10 on waterproof. The gortex is good but need to test more and check the toe area. Overall a great pair of shoes! :)

I wanted to have a hiking/touring shoe for travel that was waterproof. Having been in downpours in New York, Budapest and Madrid, I thought it was time to get footwear that kept my feet dry.I originally ordered a Merrell Men's Moab Edge 2 Waterproof Sneaker, a similar product, but learned that these employed Merrel's own (not Gortex) waterproofing system, which apparently is experiencing some water defects, in part due to deficiencies in a new plant in China.The Merrell Men's Moab 2 GTX Hiking Shoe uses the tried-and-true Gortex system, and the shoe is fabricated in an established Chinese plant. These shoes seem to have far fewer issues then the Moab Edge. While I have not yet tested them in a hard rain (hence the 4 stars for now) they fit beautifully. Since I also use touring shoes in the gym while travelling, these performed great on the elliptical - no discomfort. In other words, these shoes seem to be just what I need, but their waterproof performance has yet to be tested.

Excellent as usual , can’t got wrong with goretex

Originally purchased this shoe to have a good waterproof hiker and trail hiking shoe, and based my original decision on several well thought out and insightful reviews. They have proved all of that. If the day is wet, or dew on the grass, most of the time they are on my feet. The low quarters took a bit more to acclimate to my feet compared to the mid'ris pair I own which were a "right out of the box" comfortable hiker. Great shoe and value.

I have purchased and worn Merrill Moab shoes for about 8 yrs. I hike and walk a lot and found my expensive hiking boots rubbed several toes and I developed foot pains including plantar fasciitis. I tried several boots with no luck. I finally bought some Merrill mid height boots an installed a high quality insert and after several months the problems were solved. The wider toe box helped my toes and the shoe and insert fixed the other pains. I have a number of Merrill shoes including this one and will not switch. They cost much less than the other boots and are far more comfortable for me

I have owned Merrell MOAB shoes for the past 10 years (3 different pairs), and will continue to buy them for as long as they make them without changes. They wear extremely well, have excellent support and comfort, and fit my foot superbly. This review is for the Gortex version of the shoe. I also ordered and tried at the same time the "Waterproof" version of the shoe and it fit too snugly and was heavier than this Gortex shoe. I sent the Waterproof one back, and kept this one that I now wear every day. Wonderful shoe! Try a pair and treat yourself to real comfort. These are not waterproof in the sense that you can go through standing water, but will keep your feet dry through damp conditions. Also stays pretty comfortable in hot weather.

Merrell is the only brand I will wear at work. I'm on my feet a lot as a nurse at the hospital. In my 10+ years as a nurse, Merrell hiking shoes are the only shoes that my feet like. I've been a huge fan of Merrell's Moab hiking line over the years. I bought a new pair of these, only to have the family dog get a hold of a pair, and had to buy a new pair within a month. My feet love these and they usually last about a year or a little longer with all the walking I do before I need a new pair.
